The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested Wonder Babanawo, a robbery suspect who had been evading capture following a series of criminal activities in Ashaiman and parts of Tema.

The duo is believed to have attacked and robbed a businessman in Ashaiman, located in the Greater Accra Region.
Following Babanawo’s arrest, authorities conducted a search which yielded a Ruger pistol loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition, six SIM cards, a Samsung tablet, 30 mobile phone covers, a quantity of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, and three copies of land indenture.
Karim Fatao was arraigned on March 3, 2025, and has since been remanded into custody. Babanawo, now in police custody, is expected to appear before court soon to face charges.
